The Lonely Rogue

Chapter 21 Caspian

"Son of a bitch, that shit hurts!" I shouted as the doctor yanked the arrow out of my stomach.

"Well yeah, that's what happens when you get shot by silver arrows." Dr. Riley cocked an attitude with me.

I guess I wasn't being the best patient, but I had just been riddled with silver arrows looking for a bunch of rogue werewolves in a foreign pack's territory. Six arrows, that's how many they've yanked out of me so far. I still had one in my shoulder and another in my arm.

"You doing okay, Alpha?" Jett was standing a few feet away from me, careful not to get too close so I wouldn't rip his head off while the doctor was yanking the arrows out.

"Shut up." I snarled and Jett clamped his mouth shut.

"What happened, Caspian?" Cole mindlinked me sharply.

"What?" I snapped back, grinding my teeth together as Dr. Riley cleaned out the wound.

"You're hurt." he said, it wasn't a question.

"How did you know....." Fuck, "Junie."

"She's convulsing on the ground, she's in a lot of pain." Cole's words made my heart sink to the floor.

"Is she.....Ow! Mother fucker!" I couldn't help screaming out in pain as the doctor ripped out another arrow.

"What is going on?" Cole shouts.

"I was shot with a bunch of silver arrows, the doctor is taking them out now. Would've killed a normal wolf for sure." I said.

"Junie's in bad shape. Is the doctor going to be done soon?" Cole asks urgently.

"One more arrow to go, hold on." I pause the mindlink.

"Rip it out, now." I ordered the doctor.

"I need to finish cleaning..." I didn't let her finish, I grabbed the arrow myself and yanked it out, cursing loudly.

"Excellent, you want to be a doctor now, too?" She scoffs.

"My mate is feeling my pain, we need to get this finished so she's better." I snarled at her. Her eyes go wide and she pales,

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know. I'll finish cleaning them quickly. You'll heal faster that way." She says in a small voice, finally shutting up.

"Your mate?" Jett cocked an eyebrow at me but I ignored him.

"How is she now?" I asked Cole.

"Better. She's sore but not in agony anymore." Cole said.

"All the arrows are out. The doctor is going to clean the wounds so they heal faster, so she might feel pain for a little while longer then it should stop." I explained.

Cole was silent for a minute or two.

"You're not....worried about her, are you?" Cole sounded smug.

"Just take care of her." I grumbled.

I couldn't help but worry about Junie for the next few hours. For once, I actually listened to the doctor's orders and rested for two hours after she fixed me up. I figured if I rested, it would relax Junie and make me heal faster. I must've been right, because I felt worlds better after I woke up. Cole reported that Junie was doing okay, as well.

Thankfully, some good came out of all of this. We were able to locate half of the rogues in a camp north of Moonhaven. The rogues had split up to avoid being compromised completely, and they did the same with the wolves they kidnapped. We found all the taken children, alive and well, in the camp. The women were still missing. What rogues weren't killed, were captured and put into Moonhaven's dungeon.
